broadwaycam Posted January 10, 2018 #1 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Does anyone know anything about the earthquake that just happened in Honduras? Will it effect the Getaway? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeBTN Posted January 10, 2018 #2 Share Posted January 10, 2018 It was 20 miles below the surface. They’re predicting less than 3 ft of surge. Don’t think any of the ships will even notice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JadedLily Posted January 10, 2018 #3 Share Posted January 10, 2018 So I'm imagining that the current itinerary is identical to next week'ss, where the Getaway was in Honduras today and Belize tomorrow. The earthquake was in the evening; the boat likely was already back out to sea, and shouldn't have been affected too much from tremors. There is a possible chance for tsunami waves up to ~1 m (~3.3 ft) in that area would affect the beaches/coastline, but shouldn't affect the islands and coast too much. However, this is still speculation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Keith1010 Posted January 10, 2018 #4 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I hope all on the island are safe. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sent them an email (they have some WiFi minutes as a perk) but hadn't heard back. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

e150club Posted January 10, 2018 #8 Share Posted January 10, 2018 My wife and I have been concerned about the earth Quake also. My son is on The Independance OTS in Labadee Hati today, leaving to go Jamaica. Seems like nothing to worry about. I hope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowrose Posted January 10, 2018 #9 Share Posted January 10, 2018 The mini tsunami was reported to be 0.3 to 1 meter high (40 inches). I believe it's already passed areas like Jamaica. There was no damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
